handbrake issues

Hi all,
Right im plodding through the build but a part im stuck on is i have a few mods to do to my tunnel to fit my mx5 side hand brake lever but i still am struggling to find a rearhand brake setup to suit i have new standard volvo 740 cables as my kitbis built from a 740 doner rear axel and brakes but came with no handbrake so no drum/ disc internals. I am lost with my choices as im on a small budget and only needing to be a iva friendly parking brake i can source internals from another vehicle using rear discs with internal drums to take parts as my local wreckers dont have any old volvos and been asking for over a year now localy to no joy, i could always ditch drum brake internals and change my calipers to ones again from other vehicles that use handbrake/brake calipers.

What would locosters do ??
Any other ideas i can use.

I will add new images to my archive to help as useless with my phone to do these posts.

VAG calipers on golfs, passat's audi's etc are cheap combined units, you will need to knock up some brackets of course and make sure you get the carriers.

£80 gets you a set of new ones on eBay, £40 should land some old ones.
